    I've been receiving treatment for my varicose veins for the past two months (with some delays due…read moreto prior authorizations) under the care of Dr. Maraya Altuwaijri at her Laguna Woods and Irvine clinics. Simply put, Dr. Altuwaijri has restored my legs--both aesthetically and physically--to how they were in my mid-twenties. I didn't fully realize how severe my varicose veins were until February 2021, during a venogram procedure following a botched lumbar fusion surgery. In that procedure, a neurosurgeon had placed a lumbar screw against my iliac artery (right leg). I was warned that the misplaced screw would need revision surgery, with vascular surgeons on standby to intervene if complications arose. Fast forward to October 2024: fed up with my heavy, itchy, discolored, and achy legs, I finally decided to seek treatment for my diseased veins. Late one night, I began meticulously searching my health insurance provider directory for in-network vascular specialists, cross-referencing reviews to find a doctor who truly stood out. After reading a slew of poor reviews for the first ten specialists, I widened my search radius to 20 miles--and that's when I found Dr. Altuwaijri. From my very first visit, Dr. Altuwaijri demonstrated the kind of expertise, care, and professionalism I demand from my healthcare providers. I pay top dollar for my insurance and refuse to settle for anything less than exceptional care. While online reviews can be subjective, a truly great physician will consistently receive outstanding feedback that far outweighs any isolated negative comments. Dr. Altuwaijri has exceeded all my expectations, and I am deeply grateful for the outstanding results she has achieved. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking vascular treatment.

    I'm writing this on behalf of my parents, who are older and sought treatment for varicose veins and…read moreongoing leg issues. As an HR business professional, I pay close attention to how organizations operate and treat people. My sister works in billing, collections, and medical claims. Between the two of us, we know what good process looks like and we know when something is off. We're sharing this so others have the context to advocate for themselves before committing to care here. From the first visit, the appointment ran behind with no acknowledgment. The intake paperwork ran four to five pages and was heavily focused on payment enforcement, legal disclaimers, and collection warnings. For patients navigating a medical concern, that tone is not a great foundation. The physician was dismissive and lacked basic bedside manner. Whether intentional or not, the interaction gave the impression that cash-pay patients were not the preferred clientele, despite the fact that we came fully prepared to pay out of pocket. The total treatment cost came to approximately $20,000 across eight to ten sessions. We understood and accepted that. What we did not expect was a requirement to pay the entire amount upfront at the very first visit, before a single procedure had taken place. We also scheduled all appointments well in advance, confirmed twice, and shared the full schedule with my mother's care team. A week before the first visit, we received notice that the location had changed between their two sites, and only learned this after my sister called and waited on the phone. Shortly after, another message arrived announcing additional schedule changes due to "provider changes." In plain terms, the doctor rescheduled at their own convenience with little consideration for patients who had already coordinated transportation, caregivers, and time off. We canceled all appointments and requested the medical records. The staff response was dismissive throughout. After the fact, I reviewed Yelp and Google and found our experience is not unique. Scheduling issues, payment concerns, and poor communication show up repeatedly in other reviews. Their branding positions them as the leading specialist in Orange County. That is a marketing claim they place themselves. It may carry some weight, but it should not be taken at face value without doing your own research. If you are considering this practice for something as costly and physically sensitive as vein treatment, please read the full review history across platforms and explore other providers. Knowledge is the best tool you have. We hope this helps someone go in better prepared, or consider whether this is the right fit for them at all.

    Dr. Lee and her staff are top notch. I had CVI - pain & swelling in my legs for years even while…read more wearing support hose. I had one varicose vein but most of my veins were deep so not a cosmetic decision it was a swelling and pain decision and I did not want it to advance to thrombosis. I had Laser treatments (three in each leg) along with sclerotherapy (three times in each leg) I was so afraid of doing this, I am a complete baby with needles. Dr. Lee and her staff from nurses to office personal truly made this experience a good one (because hey it is kind of a weird thing to be awake for) with GREAT results. I have no swelling or pain in my legs anymore - life changing procedures for me can't thank Dr. Lee and her staff more. Dr. Lee is a highly skilled doctor from diagnosis, treatment to recovery, you will be in great hands - highly recommend.

My experience at this Dr.s office was exceptional not only because of Dr. Lee but also the entire office staff. They are not only professional but everyone that dealt with my case was caring and attentive. They explained the entire process from beginning to end. If you are hesitant about this treatment, this Dr. will alleviate your fears.

    Dr. Isadore is the most compassionate and educative doctor I have experienced. Instead of having…read morestaff complete all the preliminary work ups and not meeting the doctor until the date of the procedure (as is the case with most doctors today), Dr. Isadore greets you at your first visit, explains the ultrasound process describing what he sees as he proceeds and is open to any questions. He prepares you for what to expect at each procedure and even lets you watch if you so desire. Nothing was painful. The worst part was administration of lidocaine and a few injections for removal of spider veins...but thatlasteonly a few seconds. He constantly asks how you are doing. Sue, the office administrator, is so friendly and welcoming. I am so glad a friend recommended him. If you are tired of doctors with big offices where you feel like just another patient, this is the place for you. You will feel like a member of a family.

The back of my calf and my inner knee had veins that were heavy, ached, hot, and not to mention ugly. My dermatologist recommended Dr. Isadore. After setting up a consultation and learning about my options I had the Radiofrequency Ablation procedure. Dr. Isadore and Sue were very professional and answered a million of my questions. The procedure and follow up visits were quick and easy. I had veins on both legs closed and not even 6 months later they look and feel great! The down sides were the inconvenience of wearing compression stockings and a little swelling/ bruising short term but it was so worth it. I wish I did this 10 years ago.
